Below are some handy tips to make sure your home stays dry in this wet weather.

Check for any cracked, broken or dislodged roof tiles.

Ensure that all your gutters are clear as overflows onto your walls can cause damp.

If you’re going to clear the guttering yourself, always ensure that you use a sturdy ladder on a firm, level base. Make sure you wear non slip shoes and ensure the weather is nice whilst you do this and wear thick protective gloves. For safety reasons its always advisable to have someone ‘foot’ of the ladder in-case it moves.

Check pipes for any cracks or loose joints and lag outside pipes to avoid them becoming frozen.
